In this episode they continue their expedition into the heart of Jesus—discovering the answer to what seems like an obvious question, but isn’t: What is love?

We’re back! Join Rick and the Becky-nator for a new season of Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus—Episode 2 of Season 9 - “The Light of the World” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Here Rick and Becky explore themes drawn from his new book Editing Jesus. In this episode they continue their expedition into the heart of Jesus—discovering why “light” is so often used as a descriptor for His impact in the world. Light has many forms, and that helps explain how Jesus-as-light is working in our lives in such diverse ways. And we learn what it looks like to carry His light into the nooks and crannies of our own world. Here we slow down and re-embrace the meaning of “light of the world,” as if we’re experiencing it for the first time… Check out Rick’s new book, Editing Jesus.

We’re back! Join Rick and the Becky-nator for a new season of Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus- Episode 1 of Season 9: “Kindness for Broken People” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Here Rick and Becky explore themes drawn from his new book Editing Jesus. In this episode they continue “reverse-engineering” back from Jesus—that means we adjust our “operating system” in life by starting with Jesus, then working back into our priorities, values, and choices. In this episode we explore the difference between “nice” and “kind” in the words and actions of Jesus. Jesus is always kind but only sporadically nice. His kindness must address our brokenness, and we don’t really understand how broken we are. His way of living and relating stretches the boundaries of our imagination. His kindness supersedes our expectations. Because we crave His kindness, let’s invite Jesus to stretch those boundaries… Check out Rick’s new book, Editing Jesus.

Join Rick and the Becky-nator for Episode 8 of Season 11 - “The Enemy” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Here Rick and Becky explore themes drawn from his just-released book Editing Jesus. In this episode they continue “reverse-engineering” back from Jesus—that means we have to account for His relationship with the supernatural, and what He says our relationship with the supernatural will be like, even if that makes us uncomfortable. One of Rick’s friends sometimes asks, as a kind of greeting, “How’s your relationship with Satan?” He always follows that with: “We all have one.” It’s a lighthearted way to surface a real issue. Satan is called “the enemy of God,” and Jesus tells us the Kingdom-standard for love is “loving our enemies and praying for those who persecute us.” Does that mean we’re, somehow, supposed to love the enemy of God? Here we explore the difference in posture Jesus models toward flesh-and-blood enemies, and enemies that inhabit “the unseen world.” Check out Rick’s new book, Editing Jesus.

Join Rick and the Becky-nator for Episode 8 of Season 10 - “What Maturity Is, and Isn’t” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Here Rick and Becky explore themes drawn from his just-released book titled Editing Jesus. In this episode they explore maturity—Jesus is always inviting us to live our lives by the values, priorities, and norms of an unseen kingdom. He calls it the Kingdom of God. And He says those who “fit” in this unseen kingdom are childlike in their relationship with Him. And He says this childlike-ness is actually what maturity looks like. The more childlike we are in the way we relate to Him and follow Him and live out our purpose in the world, the more mature we are. And all of this is tied to our relationship with the Spirit of Jesus, the “rabbi inside” who is always available to us. A Spirit-dependent life is also a maturing life…Check out Rick’s new book, Editing Jesus.

Join Rick and the Becky-nator for Episode 8 of Season 9 - “The Deep-Fake Jesus” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Here Rick and Becky explore themes drawn from his just-released book titled Editing Jesus. In this episode they explore something that didn’t exist in our vocabulary 10 years ago—with the burgeoning advances made in AI, artificial intelligence, comes the dark side of the coin… What happens when something unreal looks so real that we can’t tell the difference? We call this “deep fake.” And the obvious danger is clear—if you think something, or someone is real, and you act because of it, it could lead to dire consequences. In what ways can we be “deep faked” about Jesus simply because we don’t know Him well?

Join Rick and the Becky-nator for Episode 8 of Season 8 - “Losing Our Chaff” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Here Rick and Becky explore themes drawn from his just-released book titled Editing Jesus. In this episode they continue their deep dive into the “core” of Jesus’s mission—it’s not to plant a new religious movement, or to reset our moral compass, or to warn us of the consequences of rejecting a relationship with God. The mission of Jesus is, simply, to restore what is broken in our relationship with God—our ability to trust, and to be trusted. Once trust is broken in that ancient encounter with the serpent in the garden, it can’t be forced or coerced or controlled into alignment. It has to be romanced. So let’s explore what trust really looks like, and how we can recover intimacy in our relationship with Jesus…Check out Rick’s new book, Editing Jesus.

Join Rick and the Becky-nator for Episode 7 of Season 8 - “Peculiar People” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Rick and Becky will be exploring themes drawn from his just-released book titled Editing Jesus. In this episode we explore why Peter calls the followers of Jesus “peculiar people”—of course, we translate that as… odd people. And, just being real, some of us are odd… Maybe we’re all odd in some way. But that’s not what Peter really means here. And the distinction is really important for us… We are called, as followers of Jesus, to live out the values and priorities of an unseen kingdom while we live our everyday lives in the seen kingdom.

In this episode we explore a conundrum—we know that Jesus told us that His “yoke is easy” and His “burden is light,” by why does real life so often feel like exactly the opposite of those descriptions?

So check out Episode 4 of Season 8 - “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” - a continuation of the series “THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Rick and Becky will be exploring themes drawn from his upcoming book (releasing June 4) titled Editing Jesus. In this episode we dive into a way of living that seems, well, weak—but in the weakness of this way living is our greatest strength. If we’re walking in the way of Jesus, then mercy, mercy, mercy will be our path. When is it okay to show mercy if a person has “broken the rules”?

In this episode we dive into a hard truth… Yes, Jesus was radically inclusive when he offered marginalized people dignity, or when he elevated women and Gentiles from a place of scorn, or when He chose to hang out with, and even honor, “sinners” like tax collectors and prostitutes. But when we make inclusion the superseding mission of Jesus on earth, we inevitably edit out His many, many hard boundaries and exclusions. We’ll focus on how exclusionary He often is, and discover how exclusion reflects His heart of love for us…Check out Rick’s upcoming new book, Editing Jesus.

Join Rick for the first episode of Season 8, continuing the series—“THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Our understanding of death, and our fear of it, colors our life. It plays in the background, like a haunting film score to our life narrative. But if we understand the way of Jesus, relative to death, we will have a much deeper understanding of what it means to live in deep peace, and we’ll discover the secret to the upending way he related to people.

Join Rick for the fourth episode of the new series—“THE WAYS OF JESUS.” We all have rutted narratives that emerge from our painful experiences. But Jesus tells us, over and over, that our un-rescued pain is beauty disguised as ugly. We see weakness as the unwelcome byproduct of pain. But in the Kingdom of God, real weakness is exposed as arrogance. Jesus’ opposes the “strength” of the Pharisees because they are arrogant, and arrogance is really a belief in, and a trust in, your own strength and resources over outside sources of strength and resource. Here we explore the mechanics of strength catalyzed by weakness.

After a two-month “impromptu sabbatical,” join Rick for the third episode of the new series—“THE WAYS OF JESUS.” The influence of our self-narratives. The story we tell ourselves, about ourselves, can lead us into captivity—the captivity Jesus came to set us free from. Jesus wants to “de-bug” our narrative. In Matthew 5 we have Jesus delivering the “But I Say’s”—they’re a kind of complement to “The Beatitudes.” The “But I Say’s” are a kind of martial arts practice—Jesus uses the momentum of deception against it. “Active pushback” against deception is not just a strategy, it’s a lifestyle. It does not mean that we become distrustful people, it means we become discerning people.

Join Rick for the second episode of the new series—“THE WAYS OF JESUS.” Researchers say a strong factor feeding resilience is “the degree of control that the person has over the stressor.” When we can’t exert any control over the trauma we’ve experienced, the “agency” that fuels our hope is obliterated. Put another way, painful experiences that are “inescapable and erratic” can cut the soul’s “tendons,” making it difficult to use or strengthen the muscles we need to face and overcome future challenges and pain. The healing we need is directly tied to our ability to reassert control over our story—to reattach those cut tendons and rehabilitate our agency.

Join Rick for the first episode of the series—“THE WAYS OF JESUS.” There was a miraculous birth that preceded the miraculous birth of Jesus—John the Baptist. He was born of an elderly couple, chosen to “prepare the way” for Jesus by calling the Jews to repentance. John targeted their complacency and entitlement—challenging them to turn from following the way of the world to the way of the Kingdom of God, ultimately the Way of Jesus… To repent means to turn your back on, and turn your face toward. Who will be our King?

Join Rick for the eighth and final episode of the series—“JESUS IN THE REAL WORLD.” By mapping our responses to moral decision-making situations we can create a “moral map” for how human beings make right/wrong choices. But what about Jesus’ moral map? We discover that map in His “Sermon on the Mount.” This is Jesus’ epic proclamation of the Kingdom of God’s culture—the “deep good” in the heart of God. It’s the map He uses to make moral decisions. Let’s figure out what that moral map looks like—with clusters of moral decision-making that are weighted with importance. And then, if we’re to live in the freedom of a trusting relationship that guides our everyday moral practice, how do we do that?

How to Build a Moral Robot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuqLEx7gAOE
Join Rick for the seventh episode in the ongoing series—“JESUS IN THE REAL WORLD.” In a curious encounter with His disciples and a gathered crowd, Jesus suggests that weather forecasting is a good metaphor for moral decision-making. Then He asks a question that seems self-evident: “Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right?” Of course, we can’t decide for ourselves what is morally right because we have an unreliable “compass” for right and wrong. So the elephant-in-the-room question is: Why would Jesus ask this question? The answer has huge implications for how we live our lives.

Join Rick for the 7th episode in a new ongoing series—“JESUS IN THE REAL WORLD.” In January our focus shifts to resolutions—making commitments to improve. But are resolutions consistent with the way of Jesus? We all have a deep longing to move toward wholeness. Jesus says: “But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Seems impossible... But in the Greek, perfect means “fully realized in its intended function.” St. Clare of Assisi says, “We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become.” Let’s explore how our “New You” can actually happen…

John Mark Comer: “Discipleship In the First Century” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0FrGcxecUY&t=1s
Join Rick for the sixth episode in a new ongoing series—“JESUS IN THE REAL WORLD.” The “messaging” around Christmas is deeply embedded in us—at no other time during the year is gift-giving such a major focus of our life. And there’s a lot on the line for us. People get into fights at the mall in the name of gift-giving. Every year we vow to “make this Christmas different,” but we get swept up in the current of our culture and feel almost powerless to do anything different. Instead of guilting ourselves, or living in regret, what if we slowed down to pay attention to the gift-giving habits of Jesus—and let them infect us as His heart infects us?

Join Rick for the fifth episode in a new ongoing series—“JESUS IN THE REAL WORLD.” Jesus said: “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!” But what happens when our life experience with God makes us think God has often given us snakes and stones instead of fish and bread? How confident do you feel in asking for bread and getting bread from God, or knocking on God’s door and it opening for you?

Join Rick for the fourth episode in a new ongoing series—“JESUS IN THE REAL WORLD.” An ideology is “a system of ideas that aspires both to explain the world and to change it.” Another way to describe an ideology is the story we live inside. Or the self-narrative we’ve embraced. What is the greatest challenge in the church today? It’s our propensity to “edit” Jesus to conform to our ideologies, even if they are contrary to the Kingdom of God. We come to Him as clay, not as the Potter.

Join Rick for the third episode in a new ongoing series—“JESUS IN THE REAL WORLD.” We live in an age of enemies… Never has it been easier, or more likely, that we will create enemies just by living our life… Case In Point: Choose any random post on the social media site Nextdoor and you’ll see enemy-making up close—guaranteed. But in Matthew 5 Jesus delivers His blunt standard for Kingdom-of-God love: “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! ” Here we’ll explore what it means to “give sunlight to both the evil and the good.”

Join Rick for the second episode in a new ongoing series—“JESUS IN THE REAL WORLD.” We’ll be pursuing the heart of Jesus through the lens of what’s going on in the world right now… In our culture today, we are the most connected/disconnected generation in history. Never have we had more tools of connection, and habits of connection, but the research shows that this is the loneliest generation in American history. We’ll explore what people were looking for when they met and decided to follow Jesus, and how He established deep, I’ll-die-for-you relationships.

In this episode we’ll take a deep dive into “over-functioning”—what is it, how is it operating in your life, and how does Jesus confront it and resist it in His relationships?

Edwin Friedman’s Fable “The Crux” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqbVLJQBsjc&t=9s
Join Rick for the 8th and final episode in the series—“THE HARVEST.” In his commentary on the Gospel of John, the great contemporary theologian N.T. Wright says: “The urgent question, then, is this: How do we ‘remain' in him?” And Vaughan Roberts, rector of St Ebbe’s Church in Oxford, says: “Jesus us not a decorative shrub, useful for giving an aesthetic religious touch to life. He is not available to be arranged in a bouquet to delight us. He is life itself, its very center—the Vine.” This is the central message of Jesus to His disciples, including you and me…

Grafting Fruit Trees – Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EwtyO16dFg&t=2s
Join Rick for the seventh episode in the series—“THE HARVEST.” We are all intimately attached to sources of life—a flower planted in soil, for instance, has more life flowing into it than cut flowers in a vase of water. Our attachments make all the difference… So let’s explore what wholeness looks like in Jesus, and in us—through the lens of how we attach (and detach) from our sources of life. We’ll consider what “differentiation” means, and how it explains the upending, renovating, and redeeming impact Jesus has in our life. And we’ll learn how to move further down the path toward differentiation ourselves.

Join Rick for the sixth episode in a new series—“THE HARVEST.” We know that Jesus is a storyteller who’s trying to tell a story of beauty in our soul—the story He’s telling in your life is a Romance. In the last episode we explored what the “Farmer” is doing about the “weeds” growing up in our field of “wheat”—our soul. Let’s uncover what Jesus is doing to set the stage for transformation in the people He encounters, and in our own life… He’s trying to influence the narrative of our life, using our “contamination stories” or our weeds as a growth-producer in our overshadowing story of redemption.

Join Rick for the fifth episode in a new series—“THE HARVEST.” We’re hard-wired for story, because we’re created by a storyteller. Our life is about our story. Story works to construct, give meaning to, and set boundaries around our experience of reality. It’s the “narrative code” that unlocks the meaning behind our experiences in life. The story we tell ourselves about ourselves determines how we function and influences our limitations and possibilities in life. So, how is Jesus infiltrating our story with redemptive plot twists, and what is he doing about the “contamination stories” that thread their way into our narrative, like weeds growing up with our wheat?

Join Rick for the third episode in a new series—“THE HARVEST.” Delight is central to the personality and relational norms of Jesus. We think we understand delight as a simple concept, but it’s really the portal into a deeper life with Him… So here we explore an encounter Jesus has with a woman as He travels through the region of Tyre and Sidon—pagan territory and the traditional home of Jewish enemies. Jesus has, on purpose, taken His disciples through the “bad part of town,” where the people believe in false gods and harbor resentment and disdain for Jews… And there He happens to meet a woman who turns out to be extraordinary… And He reacts to her with “intense delight”…

Join Rick for the second episode in a new series—“THE HARVEST.” Jesus has invited us to attach to Him, like a branch in a Tree. And when we do, we produce fruit “after its kind.” Service is one of His tastiest fruits. So, is serving others a natural thing for us to do, or is it unnatural? Is service to others necessary for the survival of the species, and therefore motivated by self-interest, or is it not necessary for survival? Can service be prescribed and learned—can you be “trained” to serve as a discipline—or does it have to be heart-motivated? Let’s explore the heart of service by taking a deep dive into an iconic encounter Jesus has with His disciples.

Join Rick for the first episode in a new series—“THE HARVEST.” Fruit, we know, comes from a tree. Without the tree, no fruit. And each tree produces a certain kind of fruit. Jesus has invited us to attach to Him, like a branch in a Tree. And when we do, we produce fruit “after its kind.” But Jesus is no ordinary fruit tree—out of one Tree many varieties of fruit are naturally produced. So, we’ll explore each variety, and track it back to its source in the Tree, who is Jesus… In this episode we explore maybe the tastiest fruit from that Tree—“Brave.”

Join Rick for the ninth and final episode in the series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” Jesus had 11 encounters with the demonic in the New Testament—and those are the encounters we know about. It’s clear that dealing with demonic entities was a common part of Jesus’ everyday life. And, as we’ll see in the story we’re about to explore, Jesus didn’t just, well, whack these demons when He encountered them—He had a relationship with them. But we can learn a lot about the heart of Jesus, and the Kingdom of God He has invited us into, by paying closer attention to His relationship with demonic influences. A none are more intimate, and more epic, than His encounter with “Legion.” I’ve invited special guest Billy Hallowell to explore this story with me…

Join Rick for the eighth episode in the series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” Even though Jesus makes the heart and essence of children a major theme of His teaching and His everyday life, His relationship with children has largely been ignored. The heart of children and the questions of children and the dependence of children and the habit patterns of children are the key to living into the Kingdom of God… In this episode we explore why Jesus elevated children as an example to us, and how we can live as children in the real world…

Join Rick for the seventh episode in the series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” Let’s ask a big question: WHAT did Jesus come to do? We say, and it’s true, that Jesus came to redeem us. To offer His life in exchange for ours. To give us abundant life and a place in the Kingdom of God that He’s “gone ahead to prepare for us.” All of this is true—and yet, from His own perspective, WHY did Jesus come? What is His passion, purpose, and motivation? We find the answer to that question in the “Why?” of His Father—the most influential person in His life. We know, because Jesus says so…

Join Rick for the sixth episode in the series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of a woman who never actually meets Jesus, but plays a significant role in history because of Him. Noticing what Jesus notices is vital in our relationship with Him. It changes everything. So, what does Jesus find beautiful, and why? Perhaps the best example of noticing the beauty Jesus notices is His observation of the “Mystery Widow” in Mark 12.

Join Rick for the fifth episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of two otherwise obscure men who happened to experience an extraordinary encounter with Jesus on their way home to Emmaus, a small village seven miles from Jerusalem. We know the name of one of these two (Cleopas), but not the other. We traditionally think of these two travelers as male disciples, but Cleopas’ companion is most likely his wife—so let’s call them Mr. & Mrs. Cleopas.

Join Rick for the fourth episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of a broken and traumatized woman who became one of those in Jesus’ inner circle. She’s important to focus on during Holy Week, because she was there at every step—along the Via Dolorosa, on Golgotha, at the tomb when He was buried, and at the tomb when He rose from the dead. Her name is Mary Magdalene.

Join Rick for the third episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of the man who calls himself “The Disciple Jesus Loved.” His name is John, brother of James and son of Zebedee and Salome. In the time of Jesus it’s a common humility to refer to yourself in the third person, but John could’ve tagged himself “the smart one” or “the fast one” or “the loud one.” Instead, he identifies as someone beloved by Jesus. Why? Well, when you’re close to someone, you get “infected” by that person…

Join Rick for the second episode in a new series “JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll be exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. In this episode we encounter Nicodemus, who is an old man when he first meets Jesus. He’s a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, the ancient equivalent to our Supreme Court. He is mentioned just three times in the Gospel of John. But his first meeting with Jesus is under cover of darkness, because Jesus had become quite controversial among the Jewish religious leaders, and it was risky to show any interest in Him. We can learn a lot about Jesus by paying close attention to how he related to this distinguished and wise leader, and how Nicodemus related to Him.

Join Rick for the first episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll be exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. You can learn a lot about a person by paying attention to the people that love him and the people that hate him. Dr. Peter Kreeft, a Boston University professor and C.S. Lewis scholar, says: “The Greek word used to describe everyone’s reaction to [Jesus] in the Gospels is ‘thauma’—wonder. This was true of his enemies, who killed him. Of his disciples, who worshipped him. And even of agnostics, who went away shaking their heads…” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of His most-famous enemy—Judas.

Join Rick and Becky for this “re-podcast” BEST-OF episode from two years ago—“What Is the Meaning of Life?” In the past three years, this episode had the most listeners. Next week, Rick will begin a new series called “Jesus People”—exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. Meanwhile, in this BEST-OF episode Rick and Becky take on the big question that lurks in the background for all of us: What is the purpose and reason for living? Although we all have different answers to what matters to us, what is our path to a “truly alive” life? We’ll look at how Jesus framed the meaning of life to those he encountered.

Join Rick for the 10th episode of the series KINGDOM COME. We’re coming out of a very active hurricane season, and weather experts warn we’re entering into another in 2021. Hurricanes are frightening because they’re dangerous and destructive. But it turns out that hurricanes keep our planet alive by roiling the waters of our oceans so deeply that their nutrients are widely redistributed, causing rapid growth of the carbon-dioxide-eating phytoplankton and, thus, keeping the Earth from boiling over. In the Kingdom of God, when we experience hurricanes in our life, we find new life. Let’s meet, again, the Hurricane whose name is Jesus…

And in this episode I tell a personal story that certainly qualifies as a miracle on every level. But the foundation of this miracle is not in the physical impossibility of what happened, but a revelation during my chance encounter with a man on a beach who reminds me a lot of Jesus... In this episode we explore “Miracles,” and the heart behind them.

Join Rick for the 8th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. We are magnetically drawn to stories of hope and perseverance. That’s because perseverance is both heart-breaking and inspiring. It’s almost impossible to ignore. So, what are the common threads in all our stories of perseverance? Desperation. Vulnerability. Dependence. But especially “Hope and Fear and Conviction.”

Join Rick for the 7th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. Rick often uses a favorite phrase to describe the mission of Jesus: He came to make beauty out of ugly. Not “pretty”… Beauty. In a very real, practical, visceral way, beauty-making and beauty-revealing is exactly what Jesus is doing in the world, and in your life, right now… We need “beauty-fighters” in this season of ugly… And it’s always been a season of ugly in the world. Will you join? Let’s explore the central quality of Jesus’ heart, infecting the whole Kingdom of God—“Beauty”

Join Rick for the 6th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, whose life we celebrate this week, led during a time of great division and racial tension and disillusionment in the country—like our time today. He’d experienced pain and brutality from others, over and over. But he was much more than a civil rights leader—he was a pastor planting seeds of the Kingdom of God in a fallow soil. He proclaimed: “Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude…” It reminds us of what Jesus said about forgiveness—“Seventy-Times-Seven…”

Join Rick for the 5th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus launches His ministry by doing something He’ll never do again—simply “talking at” a large crowd of people for a long time. Why does He do this? There’s a clue at the end of Matthew 6, when He says: “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” When He says “Above all else” it’s a distinct declaration—of all the things we’re pursuing in life, this is the highest pursuit. Here let’s explore what “Above All Else” means in our everyday life...

Join Rick for the 4th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. When we live inside the culture of the Kingdom of God—the way of living that Jesus came to plant, like a seed, in our broken reality—we are very aware of the influence of evil all around us, but we are not impressed by it. The goal of evil is to “kill, steal, and destroy,” and it is impersonal in its approach. We are not “persons,” in the mind of the one Jesus called “the evil one,” we are weeds that must be plucked or cut. At the start of a new year, let’s ready ourselves again for living a life that “overcomes evil with good.” Here let’s explore “The Antidote to Evil,” as revealed and practiced by Jesus.

Join Rick for the 3rd episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. In the Kingdom of God, storytelling is not only the highest form of art, it defines the mission and passion of Jesus. Jesus came to tell a new story in our life, and to invite us to do the same with others. But to understand what’s He’s doing, we have to explore the story’s setup, the plot twists, and the takeaway. As you come to understand “The Point of Your Story,” you’ll grow to appreciate the heart of the Storyteller.

Join Rick for the 2nd episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. What are some obvious differences between a democracy, like the one we live in, and living under the rule of a king? Most of us have no idea what it means to actually live in a kingdom, and we’ve never actually been in a close relationship with a king. So, even though Jesus tells us that he’s an ambassador for the Kingdom of God, even the embodiment of it, it’s hard for us to understand what that really means. Let’s explore the upending, transformational reality of a “Bow Down” relationship with Jesus.

Join Rick for the 1st episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. What did Jesus really come to do—what was His “mission”? We’ve been told that it’s basically a rescue mission. But our “rescue” is simply the epic fruit of a restored relationship, which is the passion of God. The mission of God, however, has to do with planting the culture of the Trinity in the broken and scarred garden that was once Eden. Jesus focuses, over and over, on bringing the Kingdom of God, His own “culture,” into our reality. So today we’ll explore what that looks like for us in everyday life, through the lens of “Family Traditions.”

Join Rick for the 8th episode of the new series PRESENT CONCERNS—we’ll explore the challenges that darken our soul’s landscape and discover how Jesus works our ugly into beauty. In this episode we’ll explore… “Exhaustion.” Exhaustion can make us cowards; and it can lead us to the courage we need most. Let’s explore “the road less traveled” today, walking with Jesus on the road to courage in the midst of our exhaustion.

Join Rick and Becky for the 7th episode of the new series PRESENT CONCERNS—we’ll explore our looming life challenges and discover how Jesus works our ugly into beauty, like clay in His hands. In this episode we’ll explore… “Hope Deferred.” We tend to think about our hopes in the major categories of life, but we have hundreds of tiny, unrealized hopes crawling around our life every day. And those broken hopes are like termites, eating away at our foundation of trust. The repeated destruction of our hope is a relationship-killer—in our relationship with Jesus and with others. So, how do we find a source of hope that isn’t at risk, and can’t be thwarted or killed?

Join Rick for the 6th episode of the new series PRESENT CONCERNS—we’ll explore our looming life challenges and discover how Jesus is working to bring beauty in the swirl of our ugly. In this episode we’ll… “Consider the Birds.” It’s almost impossible for us to stop worrying—we all have concerns that dominate our thoughts. So how could Jesus possibly expect us to “not worry about everyday life” by merely “considering the birds”? If we slow down to savor what He’s saying, we find freedom…

Join Rick and Becky for the 5th episode of the new series PRESENT CONCERNS—we’ll discover how Jesus upends the “default” way we respond to the challenges and issues we’re facing in this strangest of seasons. In this episode we’ll dive into—“Good Humor.” Doesn’t really sound like a “present concern,” right? But consider how our lack of good humor right now is a present concern. Could it be that good humor is not only central to our survival during tough times, but central to our life with Jesus?

But Solomon reminds us: “A proverb in the mouth of a fool is like a thorny branch brandished by a drunk.” From a biblical/Kingdom of God perspective, foolishness is not only not-silly, it’s way more destructive and dangerous than we treat it…

Join Rick for the 2nd episode of the new series PRESENT CONCERNS—we’ll be exploring the issues and challenges we’re facing in this strangest of seasons, connecting them directly to how Jesus dealt with similar issues. In this episode we’ll explore—“FEAR.” It’s our everyday fears, not the spectacular supernatural fears of Halloween or horror movies, that are most compelling and most relevant to our relationship with Jesus. Joining us for this series will be none other than the Becky-nator! Becky Herrington, the longtime former cohost of this podcast.

Join Rick for the 1st episode of the new series PRESENT CONCERNS—we’ll be exploring the issues and challenges that make up the wallpaper of our life today, connecting them directly back to how Jesus dealt with similar issues.

Join Rick for the 12th and final episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. The tough, marginal, and challenging conditions that produce rare wine from stressed vines also produce martyrs and saints and “beautiful messes” like you and me. Paul tells us we are “struck down, but not destroyed... so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” Jesus will form in us a new capacity for loving others in the “marginal climate” of our soul. In our weakness, He is making us strong. We are plunked down into challenging, weakness-revealing situations because the leverage we experience prompts growth… But that’s not the only way we grow—we need care and tending as well…

Join Rick for the 11th episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. When you hear the cares and concerns of others, do you enter into their reality, or do you keep your distance (however subtly)? When a conniving Pharisee asks Jesus about the “most important” commandment, Jesus tells him what he already knows—“Love the Lord your God with all your heart…”—but then adds a second “equally important” commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Here we explore what it means to treat our neighbor’s concerns and struggles and pain is if they were our concerns and struggles and pain.

Join Rick for the 10th episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. We all long to be noticed and enjoyed and appreciated for who we really are—to be pursued by a Lover who will sacrifice to be with us. Today we explore the way Jesus moves toward us in our life, captured best by the word “Pursuit.” And though we long for His pursuit, we are also frightened by it… In much the same way a squirrel freezes when we move toward it. Here’s how to un-freeze—to move toward Him and He moves toward us…

Join Rick for the ninth episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. Today author Jeff White is on the podcast to talk about “Authenticity.” His new “Story Bible for Adults” called Eyewitness is just out—Jeff’s challenge was to tell the stories of the Bible from a raw, first-person perspective. There’s much in the Bible that might be called “not suitable for children,” so Rick and Jeff explore together what authenticity really is, why we crave it so much, and how Jesus set the standard for it…

Join Rick as he dives into the eighth episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. Today we’ll be exploring an overlooked-but-crucial aspect of how Jesus lived His life—the word is “Presence.” Jesus lived in “a state of active, open attention on the present,” which is how the editors of Psychology Today describe “mindfulness,” a New-Agey word that is actually rooted in how Jesus engaged His environment and exercised influence in His relationships. He knew how to live in the present moment, fully there—and we can learn to live the same way…

Join Rick as he dives into the seventh episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. Today we’ll be exploring why “Relaxed” is theologian Dallas Willard’s favorite one-word description of Jesus. When we “live and breathe and move” from a relaxed place in our life, we are fully living our dependent relationship with Jesus. Discover the source of a relaxed soul, and how to drink deeply from that source.

Join Rick as he dives into the sixth episode of a new series IN HIS IMAGE. Today we’ll be exploring why Work is a core expression of Jesus’ heart, and why he honors effort but not earning. Work is the transformational expression of His redemptive love, and is therefore central to who we are. But we don’t always work from a place of rest, which is what Jesus modeled.

Join Rick as he dives into the fifth episode of a new series IN HIS IMAGE. Today we’ll be exploring how Trust is central to the Kingdom of God, and is at the core of Jesus’ “operating system.” A proverb reminds us: We gain trust in drops, but we lose it in buckets. Why is this proverb true? Why is it so hard to build trust and so easy to lose it? Can we ever develop an unshakeable trust in anyone or anything, or will it always be fragile? And how can my trust in Jesus and others translate to a relaxed way of living?

Join Rick as he dives into the fourth episode of a new series called IN HIS IMAGE. Jesus said a lot of hard things—things that sound impossible, actually. But none harder than this: “Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike” (Matthew 5:43-45). What does this really mean? We’ll explore this impossible relational standard, reflected in Jesus and never more necessary than this moment in history…

In this episode we’ll dive into one of the “Big Three”… In 1 Corinthians 13:13 Paul says: “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” We think of these words as verbs and nouns, but they’re also characteristics that describe Jesus’ “operating system.” Let’s explore one of the “slightly less greatest” of the Big Three—Hope… What is dangerous about this word? What does Jesus mean by it? And when Paul says hope is one of the three things that will “last forever,” what does he mean?
Join Rick for the third episode in a new series called IN HIS IMAGE—together, we’ll explore the height and breadth and depth of hope…

Yes, like sheep, we are a needy people. But we don’t really want to live under the shadow of desperate circumstances as a prerequisite for our intimate dependence on Jesus. It’s hard to live that way. But there is an “alternative fuel source” that those who are living a dependent life with Jesus have discovered. It’s the same fuel that propelled Jesus in His relationship with His Father and the Spirit. It’s called… passion.

During our Pandemic Apocalypse, we’ve competed in the “decathlon” of emotional workouts. Uncertainty, fear, and disorientation are powerful, and a steady stream of bad news is like getting emotionally water-boarded. We feel more needy than ever, and therefore more vulnerable than ever… Jesus wants us to find Home in Him, a relationship that invites our vulnerability, and gives us a safe place to be needy…
Join Rick as he launches a new series called IN HIS IMAGE—together, explore why Jesus loved neediness so much, and how and why He made Himself vulnerable to need…

To win in a game of Simon Says, we have to radically obey what we’re told. And we’re living in one big challenging game of Simon Says in our culture right now… The tension that exists as we’re “opening up” is real and widespread, because our obedience to “Simon”—government leaders and scientists—is in tension with our determination to choose what we think is right and good. Jesus also had a complicated relationship with obedience. He lived His life “under obedience,” but was purposefully disobedient.
Join Rick as he explores why Jesus obeyed, or didn’t—and what we can learn from His example.

Ever had a friend recommend something, so you try it, and then you realized... you hate it? How can something be “truly good” if not everyone agrees that it is truly good? John Krasinski’s online pandemic show Some Good News brought us a weekly dose of “good”—but how does his good compare to the way Jesus defines good?
Join Rick as he explores how Jesus determines what is good and what is not, and why.

We're washed over by waves of grief, fear, and uncertainty in our world right now. As followers of Jesus, we know that racism is contrary in every way to the heart of Jesus. And yet, it persists like the “weeds scattered in secret by the thief” in Jesus’ Parable of the Wheat and Weeds.
Join Rick as he explores Jesus’ shrewd and redemptive response to racism, and what we can learn and practice as a result.

Although God is self-sufficient in every way, he decides to create more. The “heavens and the earth.” You and me (and look what trouble He invited when He did that). What is the purpose of more when you are already enough?
Join Rick as he continues a series exploring the foundational truths connected to Jesus and his mission in our lives. Let’s focus in on two “more encounters” with Jesus and pay close attention to His attitude toward “more,” and why that matters in the middle of our pandemic life right now...

Whether it’s a small rumor or a major misconception – we have all faced a wrongful accusation against us. Even when it’s false, we begin to question how we portray ourselves and how the world sees us.
What can we learn from Paul’s method of defending himself, and why is it the very message we need at the start of a new year?
Join Rick and guest Becky Herrington as they discuss what it takes to become a better version of yourself (hint: it’s not by trying harder to get better). Turning to the Bible, we’ll dive into 2 Corinthians 11 and 12, where Paul chooses to lay his reputation in God’s hands.

Our lives can boil down to two essential questions: Who do I say Jesus is? And who does Jesus say I am? How can discovering the answers to these questions help us discover our true purpose and identities?
Join Rick in the last episode of a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Let’s take a closer look at Matthew 16:13-20 and how this will help us find our true names.

Sherlock Holmes is known for being able to unravel the toughest of mysteries by seeing past the surface. What would it look like to start practicing a Sherlock-like commitment to “seeing” people so that we can better understand the heart of Jesus?
Join Rick and his daughter Lucy as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Let’s take a closer look at how Sherlock’s methodology is comparable to how Jesus interacts with others.

It's that time of year. Lose weight, start a gratitude journal, learn a new hobby, read a new book, finally plan that trip you always wanted to take. Oh yeah, and finally become perfect in every way. What would it look like to start approaching the new year by planning our goals with Jesus?
Join Rick and Becky as we take a good look at Acts 9 and how Jesus comes into our lives to show us who we really are.

Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Let’s take a closer look at examples in the Gospels where Jesus digs past the surface with others.

The holidays are meant to be filled with joy, yet they can also bring a lot of stress and pressure. What would it look like to start being an “apprecianado,” a person who pays so much attention to something that they can discern and delight in the nuances of it?
Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Let’s take a closer look at Matthew 6:19-34 to explore the ways that Jesus lived as an “apprecianado.”

Christmas is supposed to be a season full of peace and goodwill as we celebrate the Savior’s physical arrival into this world. So why are we often bombarded with feelings of pressure and extreme stress? We know Advent’s not supposed to be this way, but how do we change it?
Join Rick and Steph in the first episode of a month-long pursuit of the heart of Advent while seeking to draw near to Jesus. Seeking relief from Christmas stress, we’ll examine three examples of how Jesus responded to people facing stressful situations.

When something is beyond our control, our initial reaction to this is one filled with fear. Yet, during these times, our dependence on Jesus is what helps us through. What would it look like to start “scaring” ourselves in a good way, so that we can grow closer to Jesus?
Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into the Gospels, we’ll look at examples of how Jesus guides others when they’re experiencing fear.

The unknown. It causes anxiety, makes us uncomfortable and often downright fearful. While it can be hard to let go of our desire for certainty, could embracing the unknown help us deepen our relationship with Jesus by making us more dependent on him?

From our deepest fears to our own self-image, we all have ideas of what we consider to be true. While these may hold an element of truth, most can be distorted. What would it look like to slow down and start using Jesus as a filter when it comes to the truth?
Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into real-world examples, we’ll look at how Jesus can redefine truth for us.

Critical thinking has become a quaint habit of a bygone era. In its absence, assumptions and partial truths can run amok, compromising the freedom Jesus offers to us. But what would it look like to start pushing back against these false beliefs? Jesus shows us how.
Join Rick Lawrence and Stephanie Hillberry as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into the “Beatitudes,” we’ll explore common cultural beliefs and practices that Jesus outs as “false-givens.”

When we think about Jesus, we generally rely on popular assumptions made about him. Often times people think Jesus was a “good teacher” or a “really good person.” How would these assumptions change if we started critically thinking about what Jesus did and didn’t do?
Join Rick and his daughter Lucy as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into the Gospels, we’ll look at what Jesus did and didn’t do when he healed people.

When we asked young adults all over the United States to describe Jesus, their most popular description is that Jesus was a “nice guy.” When we consider Jesus’ encounters, we are either forgetting or maybe never really knowing Jesus. What would it look like to stop imagining and start remembering Jesus?
Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into the Gospels, we’ll examine different encounters where we have forgotten how Jesus really acted.

At the end of every show and magazine issue, Oprah asked this question to her guests, “What’s one thing you know for sure?” Using this simple practice, what would it look like to ask this question about Jesus in our Bible studies and our lives?
Join Rick and Becky as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into John 17, let’s look at the things we know for sure about Jesus, based only on this passage.

When a child comes to a mud puddle, they jump right in and splash around, while an adult either jumps over or goes around the mud puddle. Why do adults react this way? Jesus said you won’t understand or appreciate the kingdom of God unless you become like little children. What would it look like to take that invitation and wallow in mud puddles with Jesus?
Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into Luke 9 and 22, we’ll look at how Jesus can help us through the mud puddles in our lives.

In our culture, curiosity isn’t always viewed as a good thing. After all, it’s “what killed the cat.” So why then does Jesus seemingly encourage curiosity rather than simply accepting what we’re told, especially when it comes to some of life’s most hard-to-answer questions?
Join Rick as we continue a series devoted to practices that naturally draw us into a closer “orbit” around Jesus. Diving into Matthew 13, we’ll look at two parables Jesus uses to show the important role curiosity plays in providing the answers we so desperately crave.

Today’s world is filled with distractions. As a result, we are becoming more disconnected from the relationships around us. What would it look like to ignore the distractions and not let them fill the empty spaces of our lives? By slowing down and paying attention, how can we start to live a “thicker life”?
Join Rick for a series that will focus on the everyday practices that draw us into closer and closer “orbit” around Jesus in our life. Diving into the Bible, we’ll look at specific examples of how Jesus modeled the thicker life.

“I’m just really trying hard to be a better person.”
At first, it sounds like a goal that’s admirable and full of good intentions. So why does it so often lead to frustration, failure, and pain, especially when it comes to our relationship with God? And is it possible that a form of laziness is what God desires more?
Join Rick for the last episode in a series exploring life’s essential questions and the ways Jesus answers them. Turning to Matthew 5, we’ll explore how Jesus explains a tension between trying hard to follow the law and embracing grace.

A chief source of anxiety in our lives comes from the idea that what we bring to the table will never be enough. When it comes to the struggle of feeling like we’re never enough, what would it look like to invite Jesus to reveal the truth to us?

It can be extremely hard for people to agree on what is right and what is wrong. Whether it be a simple or complex question, people often have their own thoughts and opinions and struggle to agree. But what if we slowed down and considered how Jesus can help us answer?
Join Rick in the ninth episode in a series exploring life’s essential questions and the ways Jesus answers them. Diving into the Gospels, let’s look at how Jesus discerned right and wrong.

It’s a question philosophers, poets, and songwriters have pondered endlessly, yet a universal answer is still hard to find. What is love? And would it become less complicated if we started by seeking and embracing the greatest love of all?
Join Rick and Becky as they continue a series exploring life’s essential questions and the ways Jesus answers them. Diving into the Gospel of Matthew, we will look at multiple examples of Jesus’ high standard for love.

Harry Potter, yoga, meditation, and Dungeons and Dragons—for some Christ-followers, these are fun, entertaining, and healthy activities. Others firmly believe they're a gateway to evil.
Which view is correct?
Join Rick and Steph as they explore what it means to "open yourself to dark influences." Using Paul's advice to the Corinthian church as a guide, let’s discuss why activities are acceptable to some Christians, but not for others.

Contemporary Christian music is positive, uplifting, and full of songs talking about prayer and purpose. It’s populated by music referencing joy, peace, and God, so there couldn’t possibly be a negative consequence to listening to it…right?
Join Rick and Steph as they discuss reinventing the basics of our faith. They’ll start by talking about how the music we listen to, including contemporary Christian music, can positively or negatively impact our relationship with Jesus.

Join Rick and Becky for our last episode in a series exploring the human side of Jesus and the practical ways we can manage our anger. By looking at examples in the Gospel of Matthew, we’ll explore how and why Jesus expressed anger.

We live in a culture filled with extreme beliefs and opinions that strongly differ from our own. How do we react when we’re challenged by others? Do we retreat into our protected bubbles? What if instead we attempted to model Jesus by wading into the marketplace of ideas and opinions?
Join Rick in our new series exploring the human side of Jesus and the practical ways we can incorporate this into our lives. Diving into Luke 10 and 11, we’ll explore the ways Jesus lived the “thicker life” when he engaged with people holding vastly different opinions than his.

As followers of Jesus, we’re familiar with the Easter story and its life-altering significance. But is there a mystery embedded we often fail to recognize? After his being crucified, why was it necessary for Jesus to stay in the tomb for three days?
By slowing down and paying ridiculous attention to his attitude toward the grave, how can we embrace the importance of life over death in our story?
Join Rick for the last episode of a two-month adventure exploring the cycle of death to life that naturally occurs as we move through seasons. Diving into multiple accounts of Jesus’ death and burial found in the Gospels, we will explore the importance of these three days.

Sacrifice. It’s a word that can easily bring about negative connotations, especially when viewed with an Old Testament frame of mind. What would it look like to shift our perspective to focus on and embrace the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross? And, in light of this sacrifice, how does it transform our daily relationship with Jesus?
Join Rick and Becky as they continue a two-month adventure exploring the cycle of death to life that naturally occurs as we move through seasons. Diving into John 4 and 10, we’ll explore how sacrifice was reinvented as Jesus created a “new covenant.”

The operating system for a computer determines how it works and what it’s capable of doing. If the operating system for humans is called “story,” how do we respond to the “bugs” that try to destroy us? What can we learn from Jesus when it comes to telling our stories and “debugging” our systems?
Join Rick and his daughter Lucy as they continue our two-month adventure exploring the cycle of death to life that occurs as we move through seasons. Diving into Matthew 12 and John 21, we’ll explore how Jesus responded to others who tried to plant bugs in his operating system.

The Jesus-Centered Life: The Life You Didn’t Think Was Possible, With the Jesus You Never Knew by Rick Lawrence www.mylifetree.com/shop/the-jesus-centered-life/
If you’ve grown up in the church, you might have heard the phrase “die to yourself.” While this concept is something we’re expected to embrace as Christians, do we really know what it really means? Or even how to do it?
Join Rick and Becky as they continue our two-month adventure exploring the cycle of death to life that occurs as we move through seasons by diving into the phrase “die to yourself.” Diving into John 4, we’ll highlight Jesus’ challenge to a Samaritan woman hiding behind a metaphorical wall of who she thought she should be. Then we’ll explore how we can manage how that tension impacts our own lives.

Michael Warden’s two experiences: • Braveheart Intensive: http://braveheartintensive.com • The Destiny Project: http://destinyprojectonline.com
“Why do bad things happen to good people?” It’s a common and extremely difficult-to-answer question, especially in cases of untimely or unexpected death. When this question is asked, what would it take to shift our perspectives from focusing on the loss to instead looking for the fruit God produces from tragedy?
Join Rick as he continues a two-month adventure exploring the cycle of death to life that occurs as we move through seasons. This week we’ll dive into Luke 13 and examine how Jesus used the fall of the tower of Siloam to guide people to the hope of life.

In a world built upon seasons, it can be hard to understand how the death of something can bring the necessary transformation that leads to new life. As we move into the Easter season, what does it take to embrace this unique cycle in our own lives, while also trusting in Jesus to guide the entire process?
Join Rick and Becky as they start a two-month adventure focusing on the cycle of death to life we experience as we move through seasons. This week we’ll explore two bold “season” revelations by Jesus and one from the Apostle Paul.

In the midst of chaotic and busy days, we often don’t become grateful until we are in moments of desperation. How can we start to use the transformational power of gratefulness in our everyday lives? And how can that help us gain spiritual grit?
Join Rick in the last episode of our two-month pursuit of what it takes to become a “new” version of yourself. (Hint: It’s not by trying harder to get better.) This week we’ll dive into Luke 17, where an encounter Jesus has with 10 desperate men demonstrates the rewards that come from a grateful heart.

Join Rick and Becky as they continue our two-month pursuit of what it takes to become a “new” version of yourself (Hint- It’s not by trying harder to get better). This week we’ll look at Luke 19 and John 4, where Jesus has two different encounters that are tied together by the transformational power of being invited in.

Some think the key to happiness lies in going to the right school to get the right degree so they can get the right job. Head first.
However, could this way of thinking be backwards? Is finding and living out our core purpose in life what helps us experience the most happiness? Jesus had a clear opinion on the issue, and it started with elevating the heart over the head.
Join Rick as he continues our two-month pursuit of what it takes to become a “new” version of yourself (Hint- It’s not by trying harder to get better). This week we’ll look at some Bible-based examples and two different films as we explore the role trust plays in our spiritual transformation.

Brutal honesty tends to get a bad rap, but is it as negative as we make it out to be? In fact, when used properly, could brutal honesty be a transformational portal for growth in our lives?
Join Rick and Becky as they continue our two-month pursuit of what it takes to become a “new” version of yourself (Hint- It’s not by trying harder to get better). Turning to the Bible, they’ll discuss the difference between ‘brutal’ and ‘destructive’ honesty by diving into a sampling of encounters where Jesus used honesty to leverage transformation with those affected.

Join Rick as he continues our two-month pursuit of what it takes to become a “new” version of yourself (Hint- It’s not by trying harder to get better). Turning to the Bible, we’ll dive into Acts 9 and discuss how literally getting knocked off a donkey radically transformed Saul.

Whether it be a small rumor or a major misconception – we have faced a wrongful accusation against us. Even when it’s false, we begin to question how we portray ourselves and how the world see’s us.
What can we learn from Paul’s method of defending himself, and why is it the very message we need at the start of a new year?
Join Rick and guest Becky (the Beckynator) Herrington as they kick of season 4 by discussing what it takes to become a better version of yourself (Hint- It’s not by trying harder to get better). Turning to the Bible, we’ll dive into 2 Corinthians 11 and 12 where Paul chooses to lay his reputation in God’s hands.

Trials, pain, and sadness are very real things in this world, often rearing their ugly head during the advent season. As we face the issues brought about by these ‘challenges,’ Jesus makes us a vaguely positive promise that he has ‘overcome the world.’
What does this mean exactly, and how can it bring new hope and light to your Christmas season?
Join Rick and Steph as they wrap up a month-long pursuit of the heart of advent by jumping into this ‘mud puddle’ statement found in John 16. Diving in, we’ll examine how Jesus’ promise to have ‘overcome the world’ connects directly with his birth in Bethlehem.

Christmas music on the radio, movies on television, lights on houses, and delicious cookies baking in the oven. These have commonly become the sights, sounds, and smells of this season; but are they distracting us from the true meaning of Advent?
Join Rick as he continues a month-long pursuit of the heart of advent by examining how Christmas traditions (the medium) can help, or hinder our celebration of the beauty of Jesus (the message) highlighted during this time.

Christmas is a supposed to be a season full of peace and good will as we celebrate the savior’s physical arrival into this world.
So why instead are we often bombarded with feelings of pressure and extreme stress? We know Advent’s not supposed to be this way, but how do we change it?
Join Rick and Steph as they kick off a month-long pursuit of the heart of Advent while seeking to draw near to Jesus. Searching for relief from Christmas stress, we’ll examine three examples of how Jesus responded to people facing stressful situations.

Worship is designed to be a natural outflow of our reverence, adoration and exaltation of God. It’s our expression of mirroring back the truths we undoubtedly know about Jesus while showcasing our pure affection for Him.
So why has people’s idea of worship frequently been reduced to singing some songs and listening to someone teach?
Join Rick as he wraps up a month-long series on reinventing basic elements of our faith. Focusing on what it means to worship, we’ll slow down and pay attention to Jesus’ closest friendships in the Bible and examine how worship naturally flows as a byproduct of relationships.

A sense of humor. It can help make a good situation even better, and a difficult situation bearable.
Could it also be a crucial element for a developing relationship with Jesus?
Join Rick and very special guest Tommy Woodard (one half of the Skit Guys) as we continue a month long series focusing on examinging the basics of our faith. Taking a few minutes to laugh a little, we’ll slow down and explore God’s purpose for humor, including if it should be a spiritual discipline.

Impatience. Restlessness. Feelings of shallowness. Emotional instability. These are just a few of the potentially destructive symptoms of living reactively. There is a known cure however, and it starts with a little bit of silence.
Join Rick as he continues a month long series designed to upend expected spiritual norms by reimaging the basics of our faith. Focusing on the healing power of silence, we’ll slow down and pay attention to Matthew 14 where Jesus uses a time of personal retreat to rest and regroup.

Contemporary Christian music is positive, uplifting, and full of songs talking about prayer and purpose. It’s populated by music referencing joy, peace, and God, so there couldn’t possibly be a negative consequence to listening to it… right?
Join Rick and Steph as they kick-off a month long series on reinventing the basics of our faith. They’ll start by discussing how the music we listen to, including contemporary Christian music can positively or negatively impact our relationship with Jesus.

Join Rick as he pays tribute to Eugene Peterson by revisiting an interview with the beloved pastor and author from our first season. During this very special conversation Rick and Eugene discuss technology, observing the Sabbath, megachurches and even Eugene’s experience at a U2 concert.

At the end of a novel, it’s helpful to see how a character’s past impacts their present. Moments of narrative foreshadowing are revealed and the ending hopefully makes sense.
Is it the same with your own personal story? What does it take to slow down and see the narrative foreshadowing Jesus is using to make you who you are and will become?
Join Rick as he continues a special series examining how portions of “The Chronicles of Narnia” series point to truths about Jesus revealed in the Bible. Returning to Aslan’s sacrifice in “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,” we’ll discuss the symbolic meaning of the stone table cracking in this story, and how it mirrors the Temple curtain separating after Jesus was crucified.

Fight Club (the 1999 cult classic film) tells the story of two bored men searching for meaning and identity, and finding it in underground bare-knuckle brawls.
The film is brutal, violent, and sorta/kinda serves as a metaphor for the life Jesus calls us into.
Join Rick and Steph as they continue a month long series examining how passages from “The Chronicles of Narnia” reflect parts of Jesus’ heart. Jumping into the book “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe,” we’ll focus on how the final battle between Aslan and the White Which mirrors the battle Jesus fought at the cross.

“They got more than me.” “Why do they get to and I don’t?” “That’s not fair.”
These are phrases we’ve all used when comparing ourselves to siblings or friends, but if we’re honest, could they also describe our attitude toward Jesus when things don’t seem equal?
Join Rick and Steph as they continue a month long series dedicated to exploring passages from The Chronicles of Narnia that mirror truths in the Bible. Diving into the story of Shasta from “The Horse and His Boy,” we’ll unpack an encounter with Aslan that points to our struggles to understand God’s fairness. Have you joined the Pigs?

Redemption is mostly seen in a positive, especially when talked about in the context of a relationship with Jesus. But when you slow down to look at the cost, the weight, and pain that comes with the process, does redemption turn into something that’s downright terrible?

Starting things off, he’ll examine how the story of Eustace and the dragon found in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader parallels the story of the story of the Rich Young Ruler found in Matthew 19.

You can feel it, and observe the symptoms, but it’s difficult to see with the untrained eye. You can’t help but spread it to others, and some would say it’s downright contagious.
The description is often associated with the flu, or a common cold, but could it also be a picture of true discipleship?
Join Rick, and guest host Stephanie Hillberry as they examine what a path to maturity in discipleship looks like, including how true discipleship operates like an infection. Turning to the Bible, they’ll discuss 1 Corinthians 9 and Paul’s description of a decompartmentalized life.

At times, discipleship is based upon measuring how many Bible verses you know by heart, or how well you can articulate the existence of God. Head first.
What would look like to approach discipleship not as an academic pursuit, but more like something more intimate and familiar, a friendship.
Join Rick as he continues a month long series on discipleship by examining the differences between a head first versus a heart first approach. Turning to scripture, we’ll slow down and pay ridiculous attention to three passages where Jesus challenges discipleship as a servant to master relationship and instead invites us into friendship.

Each day Samuel Kimeu knowingly puts himself in harm’s way and works tirelessly fully aware his actions could cost him everything. Why? Because he loves Jesus; and because he loves Jesus, he’s compelled to seek justice.
Join Rick for as he welcomes very special guest Samuel Kimeu (executive director of Transparency International) for an interview recorded in Nairobi, Kenya. Continuing a month long focus on discipleship, Rick and Samuel examine how being a disciple of Jesus fuels a passion for justice, even if it comes at a great cost.

Discipleship. It’s a word Christ followers are probably familiar with, especially if they’ve spent any time around a church. But when we try to explain it, a wide range of descriptions, categories and even practices emerge.
Is it really that complicated? Or is discipleship actually much simpler?
Join Rick as he kicks off a month long series on discipleship with an interview with special guest John Eldredge (bestselling author of Wild at Heart). During the interview, Rick and John discuss the difference between discipleship as a transfer of information and discipleship a pursuit of falling deeper in love with God.

When you feel attacked, especially from an unseen enemy, it’s easy to want to fight back. But what if the best way to retaliate is not to battle, but to remain calm and rest instead?
Join Rick as he wraps up a series examining Jesus’ interactions with dark forces by focusing on spiritual warfare and the do’s and don’ts of battling evil.

Harry Potter, yoga, meditation, and Dungeons and Dragons—for some Christ-followers, these are fun, entertaining, and healthy activities. Others firmly believe they're a gateway to evil.
Which view is correct?
Join Rick and co-host Stephanie Hillberry (producer and author) as they explore what it means to "open yourself to dark influences." Using Paul's advice to the Corinthian church as a guide (1 Cor 8), they talk about why activities such as yoga can be acceptable to some Christians, but not for others.

As Jesus walked the earth, nearly every day he encountered demons, the supernatural, and even Satan.
But in our modern, Western society, it can be easy to believe these occurrences have lessened, or even completely stopped. Why? And if they’re still happening, how does that impact our daily lives?
Join Rick and special guests Conrad Gempf (Professor at the London School of Theology) and Jay Pathak (Lead Pastor of the Mile High Vinyard) as they kick off a month long series focusing on Jesus’ relationship with Satan. Personalizing the conversation, the trio will share their own personal experiences dealing with an unseen spiritual world, including interactions with demons.

Deep in our core lies a basic desire to belong--a need we often try to meet through our earthly families.
But when that desire is met with dysfunction or brokenness, how can Jesus meet us in our pain and offer the promise of a bigger, more fulfilling family?
Join Rick and special guest Charles Moore (a graduate of Denver Seminary and a member of a Bruderhof community) as they conclude a month-long series focusing on the tender aspects of Jesus by discussing how living in a family, even a broken one, shows us a glimpse of what it’s like to live in the family of God.

Humans can be brutal; we marginalize people, mocking and judging them for their flaws.
But when someone acknowledges their imperfections and admits them to Jesus—like the woman in Luke 7 who weeps at his feet—something downright counter-cultural happens.
Join Rick as he dives into her story, and invites us into a discussion about Jesus' unexpected response to imperfect and marginalized people…including us. Also in the episode, Rick interviews Emma Mae Jenkins, a teenager who is determined to wear the marginalization she’s faced as a badge of honor.

While admitting our ugly to others often initially triggers hurt feelings, acknowledging our ugly to Jesus leads to a very different response.

But what about the bothered, miffed, or the downright annoyed side of Jesus?
Join Rick as he wraps up a month-long series highlighting tough aspects of Jesus by focusing on examples when Jesus seems frustrated and annoyed with people.
Turning to the Bible, we’ll slow down and pay attention to passages where Jesus appears particularly irked including Luke 4 where he is rejected in his home town of Nazareth.

Join Rick and special guest Stephanie Hillberry as they continue a month-long series looking at tough aspects of Jesus by examining what’s behind Jesus’ use of seemingly profane words.
Diving into to the Bible, we’ll slow down and pay attention to Matthew 23 where Jesus calls Pharisees "hypocrites," "white-washed tombs," and "snakes."

Surprisingly, it was a subject Jesus focused on a lot.

Are We Heading Toward a “Bibleless” Christianity- https://www.mylifetree.com/podcast-heading-toward-bibleless-christianity/
If you've ever taken a personality test and then followed it up with a lively conversation about how you compare with others, then you know how affirming it is for people to get you, and to get them in return.
Naturally we want this same experience with Jesus, but just when we think we've got him figured out, he seems to contradict himself.
This summer we'll be paying attention to one particular contradiction: his toughness and his tenderness, starting with John chapter 1 when he calls Phillip and Nathaniel.
From there we'll press even deeper into how Jesus breaks the mold. It'll challenge us, but the result will be understanding him (and ourselves) better than a personality test could ever reveal.

Knowing what to expect and when to expect it can make life easier, which is why daily routines are comforting.
But could the familiarity of a daily routine also make you become less dependent on Jesus and more dependent on the routine itself?
Join Rick and his special guest Becky (aka the Beckynator) as they discuss how purposely disrupting the rhythm of everyday life (including going on the road) has the ability to open up new facets of the heart of Jesus.
Examining how Jesus used time away from home as a unique opportunity to teach, they’ll pay ridiculous attention to the story of Jesus healing a leper found in Matthew 8.

It’s a question that cuts to your identity, and displays the true story of your heart. The answer often becomes clearer as you develop spiritual grit.
Join Rick as and his very special guest host as they continue a month-long sampling of the newly released book, ‘Spiritual Grit’. They'll discuss how someone's character, not accomplishments, forms the building blocks of what they stand for.
Slowing down, they’ll pay close attention Jesus’ actions in Matthew 20, examining how he responds to a unique request made by the mother of James and John.

It's natural for us to be our own biggest critics, scrutinizing ourselves more than we scrutinize others.
This tendency isn't all bad, and can even be helpful at times. But at what point does our ongoing internal conversation turn into a trap, locking us into an untrue identity?
Join Rick as he continues a month-long sampling of the newly released book, Spiritual Grit, by examining the impact a person’s internal narrative has on their identity.
Digging into the Bible, we’ll slow down and pay attention to how Jesus brings freedom by changing the internal narrative of the paralyzed man found in Matthew 9.

Slowing down and paying ridiculous attention Jesus, we’ll dive into the story of the Canaanite woman found in Matthew 15, examining how Jesus rewards the great risks she takes, and how you can adopt her spirit with some risks of your own.

During tough times, when all your limits are being pushed, it's nice to take comfort in the verse that says Jesus will never give you more than you can handle. Except there's just one problem: even though we hear that saying all the time, that verse doesn't exist. So why do we keep saying it? Join us as we kick off a month-long series exploring common beliefs about Jesus we often profess even if they’re not true. Starting off, Rick and special guest, author and producer Stephanie Hillberry, tackle the idea that “Jesus will never give us more than we can handle.” Searching for Jesus’ heart, Rick and Steph slow down and focus on Biblical examples where Jesus demonstrates a dependent connection to the Father during overwhelming circumstances.

We know that rash decisions made in our own strength lead to trouble. But the alternative--timid prayers that tiptoe around each and every step--is not much better.
So how do we make decisions about what's right and wrong? How do we walk the line between our own common sense and Jesus' divine guidance?
Join Rick and dear friend of the show Becky (aka the Beckynator) as they dive into a discussion about right and wrong. Turning to the Bible, they slow down and pay ridiculous attention to Luke 12, a passage where Jesus challenges weak decision-making and presents a compelling alternative.

Join Rick and special guest Thomas Christianson (author of the new book The Unreasonable Jesus) as they focus on “mud puddle moments:” passages in the Bible where Jesus says or does something that seems shockingly unreasonable.
Continuing a focus on developing grit and core spiritual strengths, Rick and Thomas will also discuss practical ideas to live out these unreasonable requests instead of just passing them over.

Join Rick as he welcomes author Mikal Keefer to discuss common misconceptions about reading the Bible, including a surprising revelation about yearlong Bible reading plans.

Join Rick and special guest (and dear friend of the show) Becky Hodges as they examine what it looks like to have a genuine belief in the goodness of Jesus’ heart, particularly when facing dark circumstances.
Diving into the Bible, they'll slow down and pay ridiculous attention to Mark 5:1-20 when a miracle performed by Jesus for a demon-possessed man meets an unexpected response.

Personalizing this practice, Rick and Becky tell their own stories of past and on-going times of lament, sharing examples of how (and how not) to grieve well.

Turning to the Bible, they’ll explore Lazarus' death and resurrection (John 11) through a new lens, paying ridiculous attention to how Jesus displays compassion to Martha and Mary, but shies away from empathy.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Join Rick and Becky as they discuss what it looks like to pursue a life of self-differentiation, which is staying true to yourself particularly when surrounded by forces trying to make you a different person than who Jesus says you are.
Turning to the Bible, they’ll slow down and pay ridiculous attention to examples where Jesus displayed self-differentiation, including an encounter with Pharisees found in Matthew 15.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the difficult things we faced in life really turned out to be easy?
Unfortunately, living a Jesus-centered life isn't a free pass from difficulty. In fact, following Jesus often leads us into challenge and sacrifice.
Join Rick and Becky as they dive into the story of the rich young ruler (Matthew 19), focusing on how Jesus asks him to do something seemingly impossible. Continuing a month-long theme on developing grit, Rick and Becky share examples from their own lives about what it looks like to lean into…and sometimes away from, the hard things Jesus asks of us.

There's something enticing about taking control of our lives...but it takes an enormous amount of discipline to reset life. To make it happen we're going to need grit.
Join us for the first episode of the new year focusing on grit—aka the courage, strength, and discipline to do tough things. We'll challenge what culture says about resetting your life, pay ridiculous attention to stories where Jesus reset people, and share from Rick's new book, Spiritual Grit (releasing April 24, 2018).

As we say goodbye to 2017, we want to look back on two of our most popular episodes this past year.
The second episode in the "Best of 2017" series asks a provocative question that struck a chord with you when it was originally aired in early summer of 2017. The question was "Does everything happen for a reason?" and it was one of our most listened to and shared episodes all year.
Join us as we revisit a conversation about life's unexpected twists with special guest, musician Brad Corrigan of Dispatch.

As we say goodbye to 2017, we want to look back on two of our most popular episodes this past year.
Unsurprisingly, both episodes touch on the most universal question on Earth: "What am I here for?"
The first popular episode is "What is God's will?" which we aired in Spring of 2017. In the episode we tackled the tension between God's will and our free will, and zoomed in on the story of the Roman soldier who asks Jesus to perform a miracle.
This episode was one of the most listened to all year, and we hope you'll enjoy revisiting these profound questions as much as we have as we all prepare for a new year of following Jesus.

As a member of today's culture, you’ve inherited practices, beliefs, values, and purposes that shape what your everyday life looks like. Over time, this bundle of influences creates what's normal and comfortable for you.
But how does your normal compare to what's normal in the Kingdom of God?
Join Rick and Becky as they dive into this question, exploring the contrasts between our culture and the culture of the Kingdom of God. Specifically, they slow down and pay ridiculous attention to what Jesus says in the Parable of the ninety-nine and the one found in Matthew 18.

If you live in America (although we know all about our few thousand listeners in the UK) you might not have any experience with what it's like to be a subject to a King. And if you're relying on popular television shows like Game of Thrones or Downton Abbey to color your opinion on the issue, you might not feel super inclined to live in a Kingdom.
Join us this week as we examine what it looked like to live in a Kingdom. How we can use cultural experiences to expand our understanding of Kingdoms and ZOOM in on places where Jesus talked specifically about Kingdoms and what he was trying to expose to you and me.

How do we build and nurture a relationship with a Person we can’t see, touch, hear, smell, or taste? We’re told the goal of the Christian life is a close relationship with Jesus, but how do we do that without the benefit of our senses?
In this fifth podcast in our month-long series focusing on the supernatural, we explore the mechanics of our relationship with Jesus—how we can lean into every day, natural, and normal ways of growing a mutual and deepening friendship with him. We do this by exploring seven foundational behaviors that artists must learn to grow their creativity—understanding how Jesus modeled these behaviors, with a pioneering ministry leader from the U.K., our friend Jonny Baker.

Revelation is one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible.
It's tantalizing reputation for offering signs that predict the future attract many people. But many others are skeptical, and even alarmed, by the images it depicts.
How does this strange book apply to our lives? Is it a secret code that can accurately predict future events, or just a vision John (author of Revelation) had that only fits within the reality of ancient Rome?
Rick and Becky offer insights on both as they take a high-level view of the whole book of Revelation, focusing on Jesus as the central figure to pay attention to.
They also linger on one particularly relevant section that we can unquestionably apply to our modern lives--the warnings Jesus gave to each of the seven churches. These warnings are sure to encourage and also challenge each of us.

The Jesus-Centered Bible- https://www.mylifetree.com/jesus-centered-bible-shop-page/
Welcome to part three of our series on the supernatural. We started off our series defining the supernatural. Then last week we tackled the ugly underbelly of the supernatural, plus how you can spot red flags.
This week we examine the positive role of the supernatural and how you can experience its power in your life. Join us as we speed read through Acts Chapters 9 & 10 and look at how the early church participated in the role of the Spirit in their lives.
During this conversation, we'll ask: What similarities and differences do we see from their promptings of the Holy Spirit and those of our own lives? What can we do to unlock the power within us and live a more Spirit-driven life? Most importantly, what are the positive benefits of living a life that's prompted by the Spirit within us?
P.S. Becky made a mistake in this episode (she's human, and sorry). Phillip wasn't stoned--it was Stephen.
From gold dust falling from the sky to people giving a word from God without permission, encountering the supernatural can be confusing (and even hurtful) sometimes.
This week we kick-off part 2 of our series on the supernatural as we examine Jesus' interactions with the supernatural, including the creepiest guy around (Satan).
Based in part on our own personal experiences, we also discuss a list of red flags to watch for when dealing with supernatural events. And we help you learn when and how to trust supernatural experiences by centering on Jesus.
Join us for this special 15 minute interview about how one woman is using the Jesus-Centered Bible to make a huge impact in her community.
Welcome to October! If you're like Becky, you might be keeping your head down as you walk through town, afraid that a creepy zombie poster will leave you with bad dreams for a week.
What better time to talk about the supernatural, right?
In spite of its modern-day spooky reputation, the supernatural was a natural part of Jesus’ life. And if you're spending time with him today, it’s likely that you'll start to notice supernatural events happening in your life, too.
So join us this week as we unpack exactly what the supernatural is, and take a look at the culture around us that's fascinated by supernatural entertainment but resistant to having a supernatural relationship with Jesus. We'll examine the roadblocks in our life that keep us from experiencing the Holy Spirit, and Jesus' response to removing those barriers.

It's the last week of September and we're heading into the fastest time of the year—like boarding a water slide that’s about to speed us through the weeks ahead and then drop us feet-first into the new year.
In addition to the rush, Rick also likes to call this the season of "overs," like overspending, over-scheduling, and over-obligating ourselves.
How do we pay attention to the right things during so many “overs” and so much rush? How do we find our own balance between rest and busy (because it's not a one-size-fits-all formula)?
This episode explores the answer as Rick and Becky take a look at the Jewish holiday calendar and discuss how it was specifically designed to lead people from season to season. Then they ZOOM in at how Jesus handled his schedule, obligations, and time, and how we can follow his lead by letting the Holy Spirit--not culture or the expectations of others--set our schedules.
Bonus: Check out our holiday planner that's more than a planner! It's an invitation to slow down, pay ridiculous attention to Jesus, and pay ridiculous attention to others in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

We don't know about you, but the prospect of personal and spiritual growth is encouraging. Even more encouraging is the promise of the Holy Spirit to actively help us grow.
If only he didn't use change as a way to do it.
At least when we get to choose the change--like accepting a new job or deciding to move--we can embrace the inevitable bumps with a sense of "well, I did ask for this" bravery.
But when we don't choose the change, or when it surprises us with its difficulty, we tend to freak out a little. Okay--maybe a lot.
Join Rick, Becky, and special guest, Kami, as they discuss how change--even (especially!) the painful kind--produces growth in our spirits and in our relationships. Listen in as the conversation flows from Jesus' many teachings on organic, growing things, the lessons we can learn from his metaphors, and ideas for thriving during times of change.

Jesus often compares living in the Kingdom of God to becoming like children. He rebuked his disciples for sending children away. He said that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we’d need to become like little children. But he also called people out who were being childish. So how do we tell the difference between being childlike and childish?
Join us this week as we ask that question, and then ZOOM in on passages where Jesus talked about children, and what he meant when he was praising a childlike attitude. BONUS: we're using our new Friends with God Story Bible for kids (or adults like Becky who like pictures and children's stories) as we experiment with experiencing the Bible like kids do.

We all have baggage. Whether it's wounds caused by a friend or family member, or scars still healing from church, this baggage can become a heavy burden to lug around.
Heavy, that is, until we let a friend carry it for us.
Join Rick and Becky with special guest Andrea Syverson--author of the brand-new book, Alter Girl: Walking Away From Religion Into the Heart of Faith—as they celebrate this helpful friend. Of course his name is Jesus.
From growing up with a Catholic background, to marrying a Protestant man, to attending and then leaving multiple churches (for different reasons), Andrea discusses the different seasons of her life that have ultimately led to a baggage-free relationship with Jesus. Her story will draw you in with its honest look at how we do "church" today, and how Jesus is the simple answer we can come back to again and again.

From the time we're born we begin getting feedback.
"You have gorgeous eyes." "Oh- I think he's going to follow in his father's footsteps." "You're funny." "You're smart."
As we begin to grow older the definitions start to change.
"Doctor" "Mother" "Divorced"
When people introduce us, they use these describing terms as ways to explain who we are to other people. We hear these terms so often that we adopt them more fiercely into our lives than what Jesus says about us.
In this episode we meet up with Simply Jesus Gathering speaker Lina AbuJamra. In addition to being a pediatric ER doctor, Lina’s also an author, host of a very popular podcast, “spokesperson of singlehood,” and the founder of Living with Power. While she's often outwardly defined by those terms, she's strives to live a life that’s defined by Jesus alone, and wants to encourage you to do the same.

When we hear the term "rabbi," we often associate it with the Jewish equivalent of a pastor. But when we do this, we miss out on a unique and overlooked perspective that transforms how we view the Holy Spirit, and how he works in our lives.
Join Rick and Becky as they dive into the role of rabbis in the Old Testament, and explore their uniquely powerful relationship with a student apprentice called a "talmid." This relationship was VERY different from what we experience with our faith leaders today, but it's very much what Jesus wants us to have with his Spirit, the Invisible Rabbi.
In this episode you'll zoom in on John 15 & 16 vs Acts 1-3, and discover how Jesus removed the highly exclusive role of a talmid so that all of us can be transformed by the Rabbi within us.
This conversation about our Invisible Rabbi features an exclusive sneak peek of Rick's upcoming book, Spiritual Grit (releasing April 2018), where he shares the top six practices of following the Rabbi within us PLUS an invitation to take a Grit Quiz that measures your personalized spiritual grit score.

All. In. This describes the level of commitment a marriage thrives on. Through seasons of joy, pain, struggle, and triumph, when two people are all in, their relationship flourishes.
All in is also the level of commitment Jesus has for us, and it's how he hopes we'll feel about him, too.
This is why our interview guests, Justin Rossow, pastor of St. Luke Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor, MI, and his wife, Miriam, have approached their 21-year marriage as a metaphor for their own ongoing intimacy with Jesus, using it as a test kitchen to learn how to communicate, love, listen, and put each other first.
So join us as we conclude our series of episodes recorded at the 2017 Simply Jesus Gathering with an intimate and honest view at marriage, intimacy, and how all of us, married or single, can be all in with Jesus.

Welcome to episode 50 of Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus! We can't believe it but we’re celebrating a YEAR of the podcast and want to say a BIG thank you to all of our listeners.
Today’s episode is on marriage, where two wills combine into one. Two broken people with opposing views combining their wills until death do them part… (Who's idea was that?! It’s just crazy!) And yet, it's in the moments that we or our spouses fall short in marriage that we cling to Jesus with everything we've got.
Join us this week for a special 50th episode that shares stories from real people in real marriages,and how Jesus came through. Some of them ended in divorce, some of them stayed together, but in every one Jesus revealed to them a greater understanding of his never-ending love.
This episode is inspired by a project we've been working on at the Jesus-Centered Life called We: Outrageously Committed to My Marriage (https://www.amazon.com/We-Outrageously-Committed-Jesus-Centered-Devotions/dp/1470748460/). Our goal was to unlock the stories of real marriages and how Jesus brought hope and healing to them. This collection of stories is combined into a 52 week devotion giving hope and healing for marriages. Experience the powerful healing of We for yourself or a friend.

Have you ever noticed how many stories about Jesus in the Bible start out with him on his way to a party somewhere? It's a subtle thing, usually the kind of thing you skip right over when you're reading the story. Why do you think he was always being invited to parties? Join us this week as we ZOOM in with special guest Jay Pathak at the Jesus Gathering and pay attention to the radical way Jesus participated in relationships.
Experience a little slice of our time at the Simply Jesus Gathering this week. Rick sat down with Jay at the gathering in the mountains to have a chat about everything Jesus. Be sure to be looking for next year's dates and don't miss out on this opportunity to experience real Jesus and real relationships.

If someone you trust promises to do something, then doesn’t do it, it can be devastating. Well, what happens when we embrace a promise Jesus has given us, but we’re stuck waiting for it to happen? And what if it never happens? We feel frustration, anxiety, anger, and fear. And we don’t understand the purpose of the delay.
Join Rick and special guest Conrad Gempf, an author and professor of New Testament studies at the London School of Theology, for a special interview recorded the Simply Jesus Gathering in Colorado. Continuing our July theme of doubt, Rick and Conrad zoom in on the story of Jarius, a synagogue ruler who’s desperate for Jesus to miraculously heal his daughter, and Jesus agrees. But along the way He gets sidetracked, and the daughter dies. Conrad reveals how we are all Jairus in this story, and what Jesus is actually doing in this breeding ground for doubt.

Our doubts about ourselves, sometimes buried beneath a façade of overconfidence, eat away at our identity. We hear that sneering voice telling us we’re not good enough, that we’re a failure waiting to happen, and that we should hide the truth about ourselves from others. Self-doubt not only shackles us to fear, but it can infect and thwart our relationship with Jesus. And it’s universal—the issue isn’t if you’ll face self-doubt, it’s how you handle it when it creeps into your life.
Join Rick and his longtime friend Andy Brazelton, the architect of Group’s youth ministry division who’s now an international business consultant, as they talk about their own personal battles with self-doubt, and their journey toward freedom. Through the lens of the Apostle Peter’s own descent into self-doubt, we’ll explore what it takes to keep moving when self-doubt sets in.

(Podcast) Who does Jesus say you are?- https://www.mylifetree.com/podcast-jesus-say/
Early in his ministry, Jesus delivered a shotgun-blast of teaching known as the Sermon on the Mount to a massive crowd following him. In the middle of a litany of “required behaviors” that are pretty much impossible for any of us to maintain, Jesus says something that sticks out, because it seems out of place. It’s a warning to about throwing pearls to pigs—not wasting what is holy on those who do not understand or appreciate holy.
Join Rick and Becky as they dive into Jesus’ teaching, exploring what it means to guard the treasure Jesus has given to you. What can we learn about the “no pearls before swine” standard by simply slowing down and paying attention to the way Jesus has designed our bodies on a micro-level?

Or, we can find freedom from the prison of them by tapping into a strength that is greater than our own and finding our way out of the darkness.

Dependence > Discipline
Jesus is about to send His disciples on a daunting (to say the least) mission, so what does He do to help them out? He takes every last support and comfort from them before they leave. What gives? Well, join us this week as we slow way down to chew on Matthew 10, where Jesus offers a master class on dependence. How can something that feels so uncomfortable bring us so much life and strength?
With Rick and Becky, learn what it looks like to practice radical dependence on Jesus in your everyday life.

Continuing our month-long primer on “self-discipline” (and how we’ve turned it into both an idol and a prison), we give lots of practical help for tapping into our TRUE source of life. If Jesus is simply asking us to “abide” in Him, with fruit in our life as a result, then what’s the use of trying hard in life? We'll go after two important contrasting Scripture passages to find our balance point—James 2 and John 15. And if you’re struggling to let go of shame and guilt in your life, we’ll show you how to let it all go. Join us we pay ridiculous attention to what Jesus says about discipline.

When it comes to living a dependent life with Jesus, how much of it is about our effort, and how much is about His effort? Jesus often pointed out religious leaders who were over-emphasizing discipline, and used them as examples of what not to do. But He’s also called us to live our lives on purpose. When He rescued the “adulterous woman,” He told her to “go and sin no more.” And He vowed that not even the smallest detail of God's law will disappear—instead, He promised to “fulfill the law.” What does that mean, anyway?
In the Jesus-Centered Life, Rick Lawrence offers a path into a life free from all the “shoulds" we like to promote in the church. Join us this week as we dive into Paul's message—to two different audiences spaced five years apart—to see how he reveals the role of discipline in our lives.

What if spending time with Jesus went beyond a typical pre-packaged daily “quite time”? You vow to get to your 30-minute quiet time and some days you do, but most days you don't. The days you do you're in and out, and don't know why you still aren't seeing Jesus in everything. Days you don't you feel guilty the rest of the day, vowing you will get on top of this.
What if your relationship with Jesus was a 24/7 event where he is invited into every moment, not just a set period of time? What would that look like? Would you laugh with him more? Would you start to feel like you have a regular everyday friendship with him? What would that look like?
Join Becky and special guest Stephanie Hillberry (author) as they unpack a journey the embarked on nearly 600 days ago that involved removing the boundaries that can sometimes artificially exist in a typical quiet time. It started with reading the book The Jesus-Centered Life and has led to a deeper connection with Jesus that occurs in everyday moments throughout their day.
During this episode, Stephanie will share about the process and results of writing some of the newest members of the Jesus-Centered family including, The Jesus Interruption (a unique devotion created specifically for busy mothers) and Namesake (a coloring book/devotion that will help you discover who Jesus says you truly are).

But what does that mean? If God has a plan, what if his plan isn't the same as mine? What if the thing he is keeping from us that we want so desperately is to protect us? What if God knowing what's best for us, doesn't automatically result in getting what we want?
Join us this week as we interview legendary rock star Brad Corrigan of Dispatch. Despite being one of the most legendary rock stars of one of the most popular bands world-wide, Brad shares about living a life of being single despite having the strong desire to be a family man. Understanding that the chosen lifestyle of spending half his life touring with the band and the other half living in a trash dump in Nicaragua is the reason why that family dream hasn't worked out, he now devotes himself to being a "Spiritual Papa" to kids who sort through trash piles.
This week on Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus Podcast Rick and Becky tackle a mud puddle story that many of you have been asking for us to do, when Jesus curses the fig tree in Mark chapter 11. We will zoom in on what Jesus was really showing us about a tree without fruit on it and how it relates to his will for our lives.
Join the Pigs. Are you ready to go all in with Jesus? Ready to live a life that is free because it's wholly dependent on Jesus? Are you ready to slow down and wallow in the mud puddle stories of Jesus? Join the Pigs. We'll invite you in on exclusive behind the scenes insights, ask your opinion, pray for you and connect you to other Pigs inside our private Facebook group.

When you're feeling like your life needs a hard reset it's easy to leave Jesus behind and head to the self-help section of the book store and get on top of your issue. It's understandable why; they're inspiring, motivating, and believable. We know that if we can just make a few small changes in our lives they can have a huge overall impact. The problem is that they rely on our own strength and self-discipline.
Jesus isn't looking for a paint by numbers relationship where he's already picked out the design and color. What he's looking for is to paint with you. For you to invite him into the drawing and let him make adjustments. He also knows that in the beginning you will have paintings that need do-overs and that with time you'll get better at it. That's how he wants to do life with us.
Join us this week in the Old Testament as we look at the story of Gideon putting out a fleece as a way to be sure that he knew what God wanted. We'll also share from some of the top self-help gurus out there and compare what they have to say to what Jesus has to say.

We give our best, try our hardest, and give our all.
We chase after self-discipline, fight the good fight, and love our neighbors as ourselves.
We win with love, give peace and kindness.
We're all in for Jesus, and we know he's all in for us.
But what if he wants to take your best and then waste it?
In the Old Testament you were asked to go to the altar and give your best as an offering. You would labor to raise the best calf, the best lamb, or grow the best crop and then set it on the alter and light it on fire. Your best was a sweet smelling offering to the Lord and he was pleased with it.
In a world dominated by the pursuit of the American dream, a world in pursuit of happiness, what would it look like to have your talent, your skill, your best you wasted on the altar? Join us this week as we go back to the Old Testament and look at some places where people like Job were wasted and still gave their best to the Lord.

"God's Perfect Will" "What if I misunderstand his will?" "If I get on God's perfect track, does that mean my life will be perfect?" "Does God always want to make the choices, or does he have some choices I can make?" "What about free will?" "Is God's mind made up, or can he change his mind?"
Join us this month as we talk about "What is God's Will?"
It's so confusing to think about God's will. This week we're going to zoom in on the story of the Roman soldier who asks Jesus to perform a miracle. We're going to slow way down and pay attention to the things Jesus did and didn't do.
We've heard from our listeners on the go that when we talk about related resources on the show, often they forget where to go find them or to download them later. We're setting up an email list that will send you the related resources each week from the episode so that you don't have to remember to.

We’re wrapping up our month long theme on identity, so be sure you go back and listen to all four of these episodes. We couldn't finish a series on identity without talking about body image. Join us this week as we interview Jobe Lewis and talk about his very unique journey towards combining his body and spirit. Jobe has a passionate message to encourage people to ditch their scales, focus on health and combine the spiritual health with fitness in everyday life.
What would it look like if we de-compartmentalized Jesus from our diet and body images and instead invited him into them? Becky took a challenge a year ago and did a two week dieting experiment, you can listen to her journey here (https://www.mylifetree.com/the-dieting-experiment-thats-not-a-diet-part-two/).
Start your own 2-week diet challenge with Jesus with our free download (https://www.mylifetree.com/they-say-podcast-2-week-diet-challenge/), this diet will set you free. Because self-improvement is overrated, paying ridiculous attention to Jesus is better.

This month on Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus Podcast we're focusing identity, and who does Jesus say I am? Last week we talked about what it looks like to be set free from the shackles that are burdening us, and tripping us up. This week we are going to talk about what it would look like if we partnered with Jesus to set other people free.
Join Rick Lawrence and Becky Hodges as they unpack the lyrics from a Christian song written in the 80's about freedom, and what it feels like to patiently partner with the Holy Spirit for someone else's freedom from captivity.
Become a Pig! After three weeks we have decided on a name for our group we are inviting you to. If you have no idea what that is you might want to pick up Rick's Jesus-Centered Life, there's a chapter called "Living a Pig Life" that will make this very clear. This group will get special emails from Rick and Becky as well as be invited to a private Facebook group focused on wading in the mud puddle stories of Jesus. Join the pigs or learn more.

What is Jesus hoping to set you free from?
If you have grown up in Christianity you probably know all about conviction and sin. But what if there’s more to the story? If Jesus came to set captives free, what does that really look like in our life? And what if freedom is about even giving up things that aren’t necessarily sin?
This week we have the amazing pleasure of interviewing author and blogger, Sarah Bessey. This is an honest conversation about how God is freeing her up in life, showing her the true author of discipline, and how the gentle the voice of the Holy Spirit really is. We’ll also examine the role of discipleship and how it’s difference than we might have thought.

This week we are releasing a new devotional for teenagers heading out of high school, whether that’s to college or somewhere else. It’s about navigating your future with Jesus with relevant devotionals and also life stuff (like what you should always have in your car, and rules for roommates.) It’s called Destination: Life, and we want to invite you in spreading this to the next generation, pick up a copy for a graduate you know.

Who does Jesus say I am?
When I first met Rick, he talked a lot about this question. He said it was the second most important question in life. And that question scared me, because I have been raised in a world of broken mirrors. Those mirrors have decided to point out all the things that are “wrong” with me, and deep down inside I thought that’s what Jesus was going to do too. When I finally let Jesus in, he set me free.
His names were: chosen, daughter, rain that fertilizes and makes things grow, protected, wise, and a destroyer of darkness.
He also told me that my life was a beautiful mess, a perfect artwork and that even in the ashes of my darkness he was making a fertile and wild garden. This week join us as we talk about the way Jesus makes art with people’s lives. We’ll share our own practical insights on how we have created space in our lives for Jesus to name us. BONUS Rick wrote a fantastic new free download with his “how to guide” on having a spiritual retreat with Jesus. We will also be inviting our listeners to join a special group. There’s no charge to be a part of it, but if you are a regular listener here we want to broaden our relationship with you.

When you picture someone who has devoted his entire life to the passion of getting people to read the Bible…you might be thinking that person is a bit rigid, and judgmental. You are in for a refreshing surprise this week as we interview Glenn Paauw formally of Biblica and now running the Institute for Bible Reading. We love his heart for making the Bible alive and a story again.
Be a part of starting a Bible reading movement this year. Many of our listeners read the Jesus-Centered Bible and we want to encourage you to pick up a half dozen copies and to be praying about who you can give them too. Because it was designed to make the Bible more relate-able and bring out the story of Jesus. Get your Bibles today!
We will also be inviting our listeners to join a special group. There’s no charge to be a part of it, but if you are a regular listener here we want to broaden our relationship with you.

You opened your Bible, read a passage and immediately started applying it to your life. You read that part about how God doesn’t want you to tell a lie, and immediately started thinking about the small fib you told your co-worker the other day. Suddenly you’re wrecked with guilt and turning to prayer, or slamming the book closed. The truth is what happened is you missed the whole story. You missed what the passage was telling you about who Jesus is.
Join us this week as we take a portion of Matthew 15 and apply a new filter while we read it. Watch as Jesus comes alive, and all of the insights we glean about him from a few paragraphs in the Bible. We want to invite all of you to take this experiment in your own Bible and share the new things you learn about Jesus.

You got out of bed at 5:30 a.m., crawled to the coffee pot, grabbed your Bible and journal and hit the couch for your quiet time. You're proud of yourself for getting there, making the time, and being present. But at the end you were left a little bit disappointed. Why is that? Why is it when we went to the Bible for a deeply satisfying relationship with Jesus, we ended up with a missed expectation?
Join us this week with special guest Dr. Ken Castor as we share our personal journey with the Bible, coming up empty and finding Jesus again. This is a rare treat as Rick and Ken are co-collaborators of the Jesus-Centered Bible, they'll share the transformation that happened when they set out to find Jesus in the Old Testament.

In the Old Testament it’s hard to avoid a God who seems angry a lot, and sometimes even vindictive. And it’s hard to square that version of God with the Jesus of the New Testament, who (we like to tell ourselves) is essentially a nice guy. A kinder, gentler God. But Jesus tells us, over and over, that if we see Him we see His Father, too. He’s a mirror image of the God we can’t see. If we understand His heart, we understand the heart of God. That fierce God of the Old Testament is embodied, also, in the surprising, sometimes shocking, personality of Jesus.
Join Rick and special guest host Tim Levert (author, ministry leader, and academic) as they bridge the gap between the God described in the Old Testament and the Jesus described in the New Testament—you’ll discover an integrated way to understand the whole of the Bible, and a deeper path to understanding God’s heart.

Pornography is a rapidly growing epidemic in our culture. Both kids and adults, men and women, Christians and non-Christians are all caught in its net. At the root of this “normalizing” of addiction to sexually explicit material is a diminishing ability to make and maintain intimate relationships. In one sense, Jesus is a tradesman who specializes in hand-crafted relationships, and that’s why he can offer us real hope, building back what we’ve lost.
Join us this week as we talk to special guest Roxanne Stone (Editor-in-Chief at the Barna Research Group) about Porn Phenomenon, a new Barna study that’s one of the broadest assessments ever produced on pornography and its impact on our culture. We’ll also dive into how Jesus heals and restores our ability to live intimately with others, and how we can cooperate with his redemptive mission in our life.

God never promises an easy, or pain free life. But when struggles and challenges surface, how does God actually bring comfort to us? Is this comfort an instant fix, a tangible feeling, or something else altogether?
Join us this week with special guest Sam Worthington (star of the soon-to-be released film, “The Shack”) as we focus in on what it looks like to be comforted by God when everything seems out of control. We’ll also zoom in on Jesus’ actions during the death of Lazarus in John 11.

If 80% of communication is non-verbal, learning how to listen and respond to others with “Third Level” skill can be powerfully transforming in our relationships. This is the way Jesus interacted with people, and our attachment to Him enables us to do the same as we serve and love the people in our life. What does it mean to hear beyond a person’s words—to listen both horizontally (to the person’s “essence”) and vertically (to the Spirit of Jesus) as you interact?
Join us this week with special guest Michael Warden as we learn how to tap into the Third Level of listening. Michael is a Christian leadership coach and team dynamics expert, helping organizations and individuals experience breakthrough in their relationships.

We sat down with William Paul Young the author of the New York Times best selling book, The Shack, which is now being made into a movie releasing in theaters March 3rd across the country. This story is a story of redemption, love and Jesus’ relentless pursuit of our hearts.

In classical music it is imperative that every musician hit their note exactly right and at the exact time. In the world of Jazz musicians have a plan going into the song, but the role of the band is to take a note and make it into something beautiful. There are not mistakes in Jazz, other than if the band doesn't work around a bad note and turn it into something. How do we see the role of using our own will, God's will and the holy spirit playing the bandstand reacting to every note we send out?
Join Rick Lawrence and Becky Hodges as they ZOOM in on John 15, listening to Jesus teach about the vine, the branches and abiding in him as a way to know his will. Also joined with a clip from Stefon Harris, famous jazz player explaining the role of jazz.

The current of technology is compounding around us, and with virtual and augmented reality exploding, it begs the question, "What happened to real reality?"
This question, among others, is the topic of discussion for today's episode featuring an interview with special guest Joani Schultz about her recent experience at the Computer Electronics Show.

In a culture today that is completely consumed with fear, what did Jesus do with fear? And what kinds of challenges was the culture Jesus living in facing politically? Join Rick Lawrence and Becky Hodges as they ZOOM in on Mathew 24, a place where Jesus shares some very scary things with his disciples about what was going to happen to them and what we can expect.
Despite this story we also see that we have a heroic opportunity to advance the kingdom and live out our purpose. What does that do to our purpose? How does knowing what's coming shape and challenge us about what we're doing here and now?

What does it mean to be like children? When kids get on the playground they rarely get too caught up in whether they can actually climb that tree, they just climb it. And if they don't get themselves up on the branch the first time, they just keep trying again. They are free from expectations; they're just playing around after all.
Join Rick Lawrence, Becky Hodges and extra special guest Stephanie Hillberry as we play around with Jesus this week. We're going to ask Jesus to give us a verse and then just go ahead and talk about it. Come join along with us as we play with Jesus and invite him into our lives.

We know we need to check food labels, and restaurant menus, if our goal is healthy nutrition—that’s why it’s ironic that we're more desensitized to the “cultural diet” we're feeding our souls than ever before. What does a “soul diet” that helps you feel grounded and congruent look like in comparison to a diet that makes you feel dissonant and unsatisfied? And how do we “dine with sinners” while abstaining from a soul-diet that’s toxic to us?
Join Rick and Becky as they unpack the way Jesus tore down the walls of our “compartmentalized life”—He was criticized for hanging out with the wrong crowd and He was criticized for insisting that the “Law” didn’t go far enough. Here’s how we can de-compartmentalize our lives so that Jesus is at the center of all that we do.

Often times we isolate our relationship with Jesus to "prayer times" that are uninterrupted. Most of us also know we don't always have those prayer times, and they often don't go uninterrupted. What if instead of finding uninterrupted time we gave permission for Jesus to interrupt us. In this incredible book Rick Lawrence shares his practical ways of finding Jesus in everything he does and how you can find ways to do this too.

In a culture where “civil discourse” is the stuff of nostalgia, and brutal back-and-forths are the norm, there are no more “safe zones” for respectful disagreement. Conversations are now simply an onramp for scorched-earth diatribes and personal attacks. And what does Jesus think about all of this? Well, that’s a no-brainer, we say, because he’s such a nice guy. That would be comforting if it was true. Jesus was shockingly tender to some, and shockingly forceful with others. Join Rick and Becky to to learn why Jesus so radically changed his approach, based on the person he was engaging, and how we can serve a higher mission in our relationships than mere “civil discourse.”

The pursuit of happiness is often perceived as a human right, something we all deserve if we are good. Join us this week as we zoom in on some parables where Jesus shared what the Kingdom of Heaven was like and how joy would reign there. What is joy? Is it the same thing as being happy? What is the tension between joy and happiness and does it even matter?
Can you really hear the voice of Jesus? How do you know if it's Jesus's voice or your own voice? What if I try to talk to Jesus and he doesn't say anything back? Do I really believe Jesus can talk to me?
When we are asked to describe the Kingdom of God and how we live it out in our everyday lives, it’s easy to come up blank. We know what it is, but it can be difficult to know how to put it on display at work, at home and in our relationships.
Join us as we focus in on the backbone of the Kingdom of God, grace, and discuss how we can live it out in an everyday way.
We all want to achieve great things in our life. Whether that is in our careers, our families or making the world a better place. We are wired to succeed in life. But what did Jesus pay attention to as success? The answer is surprising.
Join us this week as we ZOOM in on three stories where Jesus was impressed with people. Pay close attention to the things that he pointed out and called out to others.
There are only two questions that really matter in life. Who do you say Jesus is? And who does Jesus say I am?
This week we will tackle the emotion of shame. Join us as we zoom in on a story where a woman who lived in shame not only had her physical problem healed but was given a new identity by Jesus, healing what really mattered- her shame.
Have you ever had that moment in your life where you have been working so hard, and doing everything you can and at the end of the day you're just coming up empty?
Join us as we zoom in on a story when the disciples were at the end of their rope and Jesus came in and helped in an unexpected way.
What would you do if Jesus showed up tomorrow, asked you to quit your job, and then invited you to follow him on a campaign trail for people’s souls?
When Jesus asks Peter to leave his business and follow him, he presents a sensational request that has everything to do with priorities, risk, and finding your passion and purpose.
Rick Lawrence and Becky Hodges wrestle with this request, and what it looks like to follow him today.
